YAYYY fellow creloise mutual hello👋🏻 nice to meet you

we been moots for like months now but ok nice to meet you too! I love yuri like my entire tumblr account is just allllll yuri

creloise is PEAK cressida is the character who triggers the most development in Eloise so far! They're dynamic is also kinda cute and idk i just like them as a platonic and as a romantic duo and they are really growing on me like i love seeing how excited cressida gets whenever she sees Eloise it's like she's an excited puppy it's adorable anyway yeah idk how to feel abt knowing they'll probably keep Philip and Eliose cuz like, i never read the books but i do know Philip is Maria's husband so like...is Maria gonna die or smth? cuz i'm pretty sure divorce doesn't exist in their universe...doesn't maria literally have kids?? she married him FOR the sake of her kids, so her dying just feels so tragic? I heard some ppl say she like kills herself??? like i feel bad for her idk the concept of having this super feminist character and practically torturing a seperate female character so your feminist one can end up with the tortured girl's husband is weird asf to me but that might just be me. i have a moot who said philip and eliose are really cute in the books, but the only way i can see them even potentially happening in the show without it being weird or lowk kinda sexist is if they don't get married and rather he chooses to support her independent life and they love each other but from afar ykwim? i hope he'll at least challenge her intellectually and give her some nice memories at least. idk. anyway yeah i like creloise more and can't wait for next season when we get an autistic coded-lesbian and her lover who's love story will probably legalize gay marriage (c'mon charlotte PLEASE!!)

My thoughts on Michaela

Ok first : disclaimer, I have read the book, ok angry Michael fan ? I have read the book, I read all of them.

You can guess where my thought is going : it definitely could work.

There's just something about Francesca being startled by Michaela but quickly stuffing those feelings down. She's a married woman and she DOES love John, in some way.

And then when she need Michaela the most, she vanished. (And maybe married to have a baby with some lord for the succession ?... To think about)

Then she comes back and Francesca starts to feel things but no she can't. It's John's cousin for heaven's sake she's betraying John again, she tried to have a child with him !!!She wants children, you need a man for children.

And it's wrong she's a woman, a lady. She always followed societal rules she does NOT like women. She is different enough, she doesn't need something else.

Then there's Michaela. She always liked Francesca, from the moment she saw her.

But it's impossible, she's John's wife, her almost brother's wife.

Francesca is a good woman she likes following the rules, she wants children, she's a perfect lady. No way she is like Michaela, attracted to girls.

And getting with her isn't just betraying John, it's betraying Francesca. She's already cast away from society, she wants children and she deserves it. John would want her happy and no way is Michaela going to make this impossible.

I've also seen people being worried because John was supposed to be Francesca's first love. But he can still be, sure she has a spark for Michaela but nothing more. John and her have a connection something deep, that's going to leave a real hole in her life.

And if anything worries about sex scene you can have consensual sex even if one isn't into it (an example that strikes me is in “The day of a fallen night” which is the most interesting, on a writing level, sex scene I've read)
